.... Yes bilinguals *in French and English. I thought that was so obvious that I didn't say it specifically. And that requires, wait for it, French.
[*Actually no, not bilinguals. If you are bilingual in English and Mandarin, you don't meet the French criteria. Repeat all languages. It's French that they want and require above all others. But you're trying to misframe the issue by saying not Francophones unilingual, and saying bilingual (with what I see as you defaulting to include French).]
So you speak French and work in Quebec. Fine. Why do I need French to get a good job in the prairies? Do you see how this goes? The demand for English is market demand because it's the dominate language in Canada, the US, UK, and dare I say the international language of business and science. The vast majority of demand for French in Canada (outside of Quebec) is an artificial construct forced on the rest of the country. It's completely artificial. There's no natural demand or desire. But it's forced on everyone and on to job requirements. You're trying to confuse it with all these other things trying to make it sound like 'both sides'.
